Exploring and Fishing the Mountains of New England

Recently I've felt a pull to explore and fish the world beyond Cape Cod. Luckily for me my girlfriend Lauren is up for the adventure!

On December 1st Lauren and I will be leaving our crazy cat Izzy behind, and trading our life here in the USA, for a new experience in Latin America.

God willing I catch at least one fish on that trip! I will have until Christmas Eve to make that happen, and I will keep you posted with how things are going whenever I can connect to the internet.

Exploring the Mountains of New England

But you certainly don't have to go to Latin America to have a fishing adventure! There are so many fantastic places to fish and explore here in New England that choosing one place to visit can seen daunting.

​Our most recent travel and fishing adventure was to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. On this trip Lauren and I would be accompanied by Buddy the dog, who is a Schnauzer puppy we occasionally dogsit.

Talk about an epic crew!

This ended up being an amazing trip. I really enjoyed the "exploration component" to this style of fishing. 

Click play below to see what I mean, and don't make fun of me for the oddly emotional piano background music.

Especially the part where the camera zooms in on Buddy the dog's face.

This trip was a big win for all involved.

  • Lauren photographed a mountain lake which she has wanted to photograph for the past two years
  • I caught my first ever brook trout
  • Buddy the dog had fun running the mountain trails-plus he was treated like a king at our bed & breakfast

  • if you are starting to explore streams for trout do you self a favor and learn to flyfish. it will add an entirely new dimension to the obsession we call fishing.

  • …was that a fire tiger Rebel grasshopper u were using!?? Dick from arlington bait and tackle turned me onto those a long time ago, said they were killer on trout..he was right!
